OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations! You’ve just purchased the most durable plow component in the industry. Kolpin plow components work great for

summer or winter plowing. With proper care and maintenance, your Kolpin plow system will last for years to come!

NOTICE

Plow operation requires

additional components for operation: Kolpin Plow

Blade, Kolpin Plow Push Frame, High Rise Plow

Push Frame, Winch Kit *

*These components may be specific to your vehicle.

Please read and understand all assembly instructions, notices and warnings before assembling and operating your Kolpin plow

system.

Follow these guidelines to ensure satisfactory operation:

• Read this manual and your ATV/ UTV operators manual before use.

• Periodically check for wear and tightness of all fasteners. Replace or re-torque fasteners as necessary.

• Before first use, set plow in the furthest right or left angled position to check for interference with the vehicle.

• Operate with extreme caution on slopes and rough terrain. Be familiar with the area before you plow.

• Be aware of immovable objects that could be hidden in the area you are plowing.

• To avoid damage when pushing snow into a pile, reverse direction before raising the plow blade.

• Do not ram the plow blade into piles of snow.

• For best results, set the suspension preload of your ATV/ UTV to the stiffest setting.

• To reduce steering effort and increase mobility, set the air pressure of your tires to the maximum pressure specification.

• The plow skids are adjustable. General skid setting is even with the plow wear bar bottom edge, higher settings reduce the

chance of rocks and gravel from being collected.

• To increase traction during plow operation, operators can try: Securing weight to the ATV/ UTV for additional tire downforce,

reducing tire air pressure, or installing tire chains.
